• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UC0103 - &1: Default value does not exist for value &2 in higher-level chars ?

  The SAP error message UC0103 indicates that there is a problem with the assignment of characteristic values in the context of variant configuration or classification. Specifically, it means that a default value is not defined for a characteristic value in a higher-level characteristic.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs in the following scenarios:
  
  Missing Default Value: A characteristic value that is expected to have a default value defined in the higher-level characteristic does not have one.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration of the material or product may not be set up correctly, leading to inconsistencies in the characteristic assignments.
  Hierarchy Issues: If you are working with a hierarchy of characteristics, the higher-level characteristic may not have a defined default value for the specific lower-level characteristic value.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the UC0103 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Characteristic Settings:
  
  Go to the transaction code CT04 (Characteristic) and check the settings for the characteristic in question.
  Ensure that the default values are correctly defined for the higher-level characteristic.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration Profiles:
  
  If you are using variant configuration, check the configuration profile for the material. Ensure that all necessary default values are assigned correctly.
  Use transaction code CU50 to analyze the configuration profile and make adjustments as needed.
  
  
  
  Maintain Dependencies:
  
  If you are using dependencies (e.g., constraints or selection conditions), ensure that they are correctly defined and that they do not lead to conflicts or missing values.
  
  
  
  Check Material Master:
  
  Review the material master data for the affected material. Ensure that all relevant characteristics are maintained correctly and that there are no missing values.
  
  
  
  Test Configuration:
  
  After making changes, test the configuration again to see if the error persists. You can do this by creating a new configuration or changing an existing one.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the settings, refer to SAP documentation or consult with a colleague who has experience with variant configuration and classification.
